We enjoyed the stay. The cleanliness of the home was spectacular. The area is quiet with a park around the corner. We had no issues checking in and were pleasantly surprised with local coffee and cookies. The location was within distance of shopping, restaurants and the Tingley Coliseum. Thank you!

What a nice house and the location was perfect for us. Our only regret was that we were busy attending a conference and didn't have much time to enjoy the house. I'd like to come back and spend more time there one of these days!

Incredibly peaceful stay
Gorgeous house with an open flow that offers two sectioned-off master suites, one with a full den. EVERYTHING here is top of the line, from bathroom fixtures to the beautiful kitchen. Has an incredible central patio with barbecue and a glorious backyard with a hammock. It's right by a park with a playground in a quiet neighborhood, within five/ten minutes from supermarkets, UNM, the airport, and nightlife. Highly recommended!

Girls getaway
We were 5 high school friends who got together for a get away that included the Albuquerque balloon fest. The house is in a neighborhood but close to shopping and the airport. It was about a 15-20 min drive to the festival.... without traffic.
Jody kindly let us check in a few hours earlier so we could drop off our bags and figure out what food we wanted to buy. She nicely provided great ground coffee and cream in the refrigerator along with cookies.
The house was perfect for us, clean and spacious. We took advantage of the pull out couch in one room and the futon in the living room so we all had our own beds ( and essentially rooms ) to sleep in. There are 2 nice areas to sit outside which I wish we took more advantage of. But our days were busy so we just enjoyed the lovely living room to hang out in and catch up.
They also had 4 folding chairs in the living room we took advantage of, bringing them with us to the festival to sit on. We added one so now there are 5!
In all great house and great location. Thank you!

This house was just what we needed. We were pleased to have more than ample room for our family. It was conveniently located with a grocery store (Smith’s) in close proximity for driving. We had a lovely time in this quiet beautiful house. We enjoyed both courtyards as the sun moved over the house. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay in Albuquerque.

A Great Stay!
We stayed here for the long weekend of our oldest child's graduation. The property was beautiful, well-kept, and impeccably clean. The house was very spacious, allowing each of us to have our own room and bathroom, as well as a place to retreat. We mostly ate out, but on the few occasions we cooked, the kitchen had everything we needed. We were also treated to coffee and cookies in the kitchen when we arrived. The outdoor spaces were also incredible. We enjoyed eating outside under the umbrella in the Southwest's delightful climate, and snoozing in the hammock. Instructions were clear and not complicated. Communication with hosts was fantastic. This really was an ideal experience for us. Next family trip to Albuquerque, we will definitely look up this property again.

Lots of extra space
We stayed with another family for soccer tournament. The house was very clean and much more spacious than it looked in pictures. It was really nice having three bathrooms. Nice outdoor spaces. I loved the small touches like a bag of local coffee, with half and half in the fridge and a bag of local cookies!!! We had a little trouble getting in initially due to the code not being set, but all it took was a quick call to the owner. He resolved it quickly and was so kind. Would recommend this property and would stay there again.

A great location in Albuquerque
The house was very clean and had lots of space for two adults and two teens. There were lovely outdoor spaces that we didn't use because ir was cold while we were there, but i wish we could have, including a grill, private fenced yard, and nice landscaping. There is a city park literally right around the corner for anyone with younger kids. The house was extremely quiet and virtually no traffic It's convenient to many attractions and restaurants in town as well as having grocery stores right down the street. We didn't need to contact the owners during our stay, but they made sure we had their contact information in case we needed to text or call at any time.

First and foremost, the home is much larger than expected. It has two living areas inside and two additional patios outside. The home was clean and well appointed. The centralized location allowed the family to get just about anywhere in ~15 minutes.

This house has a great flow to it. It’s got a nice space in the back where our preteen enjoyed some space but also plenty of communal space. The owners were responsive and when I needed an early check were able to accommodate me so I could work. Nice outdoor space also and the location in ABQ was very convenient.

Beautiful house in a great location
My family and I spent 8 nights here during Albuquerque’s Fiesta. The house is huge with lots of beautiful outdoor space. It also is right across the street from a park which my 2 year old loved. It is about 15 minutes from the balloon park which was great and there are supermarkets very close by. Eric was very kind and very responsive to me. One of the best places I’ve stayed!
